Issachah Savage

Tenor

"From his opening notes - impeccably shaded and coiled with repressed fury to the opera's final explosion of grief and shame, Savage sang with a combination of power and finesse that is rare ​to observe."

San Francisco Chronicle

“The American tenor sings this punishing role, composed by a sadistic Strauss,as if it were a lullaby. The voluminous and ample voice blooms naturally,and his technique, acquired in the best American schools,assures him all the rest: breath, diction, style,and especially stamina."

-Yannick Boussaert, Forum Opéra

"There was an extra thrill in the final selection,most of the last two scenes of 'Meistersinger,'with tenor, Issachah Savage singing the famousPrize Song….I wasn’t prepared for the easy, rich,warm sound that poured out of him in one of themost beautiful arias in the repertory." ​
